Connecting Dots for Dummies

Boca

Governor
In an unheard show of support hundreds of thousands across the nation voted with their wallets just the other day in support of Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy's backing traditional marriage. And last May Obama came out in favor of gay marriage.

It's kind of surprising that in the last 9 days Obama's Rasmussen Approval Index tanked to within 1 point of it's all-time low? I know, I know...in a sane world the instituion of marriage, chicken sandwiches, and a president's approval numbers, wouldn't correlate. But then what is sane in American politics these days? Blowback, backfire, call it whatever you want, but the numbers tell the story.

8/03/2012, 22% Strongly Approve, 45% Strongly Disapprove, Index -23
7/25/2012, 29% Strongly Approve, 41% Strongly Disapprove, Index -12
 
How many votes do you figure were changed by homophobes high fiving and eating Cathy's chicken for one day?

I think it's a very round figure.

Your problem remains to be Mittwit and his problem remains to be his tax returns. The chicken has been thoroughly choked and it's dead. On to the next stupid diversion to help Mittwit avoid revealing who he is....to you.
 
Razzy provides lots of dots for Boca to connect. Accurate polling data? Not so much. The dots are more like phosphenes that skitter away if you try to focus on them.
 
Where are the tax returns? Did RMoney go 10 years without paying taxes? How did he get 16,600 years worth of legal contributions into his 401k? Is this sleaze bag vulture capitalist your idea of a President? If so, God help us all.
 
There isn't anything surprising or revealing about this.

The limbaugh loonies, tea baggers and bible thumpers always respond like Pavlov's dog to this sort of thing. That's why the GOP is constantly playing to these sorts of "family values" hot button ploys. (although, in this case, it was not an orchestrated campaign by the GOP).

All the poll shows is that this riled up the cracker base.

Besides, Rasmussen polls are little more than conservative spin. They are notorious for thier inaccuracy and bias. So much so, that they are a joke.

Their value is in the fact that they get reported by the "he said, she said" corporate media, which will give sanction to liars and con men simply for opening their mouths.

I eat in Chick Fil A. In the long run, Mr Cathy's open financial support of religious bigotry will make a lot of people think twice. I won't take Chick Fil A off my list permanently, but I suspect that I'll probably eat there about half as much as I do now.

And if the millions of people who are turned off by the self righteous display of bigotry that happened on Thursday think the same way I do, Chick Fil A's one day gain, may come at a considerable price.
 
What the hell are you talking about? No votes were changed. They just showed up at the restaurants like they'll show up at their precinct in November along with the heterophobes.
 
Uhh....just so you understand....this isn't a poll of choices between Obama and anybody....it's a poll of whether likely voters approve of Obama or not. Net Obama loss as of yesterday...23% in the hole.
 
So you're thinking that the baggers who showed up for chicken would otherwise have not showed up to vote?

No votes were changed. No enthusiasm for Mittwit was enhanced. No reason whatsoever to think this diversion will increase dittohead turnout. One issue ponies always show up. That's why pugs fan incendiary issues instead of presenting comprehensive plans. "I'll fix everything with my secret plan! Trust me. Don't ask what it is. Don't you just hate gays, blacks, Muslims, Mexicans and baby killers?"
 
So you're thinking that the baggers who showed up for chicken would otherwise have not showed up to vote?

Reading isn't one of your strong suits huh?
